von Neumann's Report on the first digital computer.

Notes

This went through many revisions at the Moore School. It has been attempted to put together the most complete and accurate version, but there are many points that show its draft form and von Newmann mentions additional parts which seem never to have been written. In any case the report clearly describes the architecture which was a zero
address stack (depth 2) definition.
